“From the very beginning Hospice of Leesville was great. They were caring, respectful, understanding, compassionate, informative, always available, and so much more. As primary caregiver I could not have survived without the AWESOME STAFF! Thanks for everything!”

Hospice vs. Home Health

Although hospice care is provided most often in the home, there are significant differences between hospice and home health care.

Home health is based on a medical model and addresses mainly issues dealing with the patient’s physical condition.

Hospice is holistic in nature and addresses the entire patient, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.

Unlike home health, hospice patients are not required to be homebound. They are free to enjoy a complete range of social activities, as long as they are physically able.

Also unlike home health agencies, Hospice of Leesville has physicians, chaplains, and volunteers who visit patients at home and a comprehensive bereavement program to support family members after the death of their loved one.
